Abstract:
By adjusting parameters such as rotational angular velocity and rotational radius, micro-Doppler modulation on the echo signals of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can be generated by rotating corner reflectors, facilitating the generation of various jamming effects. In this paper, a novel passive jamming method for SAR systems is proposed, which is based on the rotating corner reflector. The proposed method sets the rotation center of the corner reflector to perform circular motion around a specific rotation center while also performing circular motion around another center point. An imaging model of the rotating corner reflector is established by employing the range-Doppler algorithm and the jamming parameters are analyzed. The regulatory impacts of different parameters on the jamming effectiveness of the proposed method are quantitatively discussed, and the jamming patterns generated under various modulation parameters are verified and analyzed. Additionally, the feasibility of achieving large-scale barrage jamming by means of the corner reflector array is explored. Simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis, which can provide a foundation for the application and implementation of this method.
